With the introduction of the “Series III” Soprano, the world of the Soprano opens up to the musician.
Summit of the Henri SELMER Paris range, the "SERIES III" soprano's effortless ergonomics are particularly attractive for the non-specialist, featuring a playing technique similar to that of the alto and tenor.
A flexible instrument, with an easy sound modulation and a smooth, warm tone, it displays a rich timbre without being aggressive particularly in the upper register (altissimo), a very homogeneous and stable pitch and an expanded range, thanks to its high G key.
The functioning and positioning of all the left-hand little finger spatulas in the low register, and left-hand little finger C/E-flat spatulas are optimized.
